SASTRA, CSE

Reviewed on Dec 6, 2015

Entrance Preview

AIEEE, Rank 19k CSE because of my love for maths. Admission process is straight forward. Apply for college on the website or through an offline process, by giving your AIEEE or 12th exam scores. Counselling will be done for the top ranks/scores in various rounds on campus.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course curriculum has a mixture of core subjects and a few unnnecessary subjects. A very good spread on the science of computers. Basics of most important programming languages are taught except Python.

Internships Opportunities

Sastra has a tie up with Microsoft and TCS. Apart from this they have a good relationship with PayPal, Amazon etc. Internships at these companies are a part of their placement offers. Stipend ranges from 9k-50k per month depending on the offer. I do not have a good idea about the stipend for the research students.

Fee Structure And Facilities

One of the least expensive in top South indian colleges. Totally feasible. 40k per sem. part from that, there are sport maintenance, hostel, exam fees. And also some unnecessary breakages at times. But not at all expensive.

Fees and Financial Aid

Loan can be availed from any bank and can be renewed depending on academics. Hostel scholarship is given depending on attendance and discipline. Scholarship rewards are given for semester fees for top 10 percentile of the college.

Campus Life

4.5

Gender ratio depends on the department. CSE has a 50-50 ratio, bio groups have 3 boys to 7 girls ratio, Mech has 1 girl to 40 boys ratio. So it is not a consistent figure. Workshops keep happening all the time in some department or the other, College gives extreme steps to restore students safety.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

And around 10-20k for hostel for a whole year. Around 3k per month for the mess. Decent food, not the best (just like any other hostel in other colleges). Quality of the food is not an issue. Only vegetarian and predominantly south indian food.

External Expense: Rs. 4000 - Rs. 7000

Exam Structure

Toughest end semester exams when I've made comparisions with my friends. Internal marks weigh a half of the grade and end sem exams, the other half. Tough to get more than 8 consistently.

Faculty

3.5

Mixture of a lot of amazing faculty and a bunch of few fools. CSE has the best and the coolest HOD on campus (Mr. P. Swaminathan if you want to know more about him). Very good labs and free to use own laptops in the labs.

The College that Balances Academics, Opportunities and Overall Growth

Likes

The college provides numerous opportunities to participate in hackathons, technical events, project competition, and cultural activities. This gives students a chance to explore their interest.
Faculty members are approachable and students can interact with them comfortably regarding academics, projects, and other college - related activities. Good staff interaction makes it easier to clarify doubt and seek guidance.
The availability of both technical and cultural events gives students to take break, socialize, discover new interest. Students can improve their problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and presentation skills by participating in competitions.

Placement Experience:

Easwari offers placement training and oppotunities with recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Accenture and Goldmann Sachs. Reported 2026 statistics include 50LPA highest package and 98.25% placement rate. I aim to become Software developer and will build my skills through projects and internships.

The college provides a good learning environment with helpful faculty members and supportive teaching staff. The campus has useful facilities for academic development and skill improvement.

Dislikes

Some subjects could include more hands-on projects, industry-based training, and practical sessions to improve students' technical knowledge.
The college could provide more opportunities for extracurricular activities, student interaction, and cultural events to improve campus life.
Placement preparation could be improved through more industry connections, internship opportunities, mock interviews, and advanced technical training.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and covers both theory and practical subjects. It builds technical knowledge and supports career growth. More industry-based projects, internships, and interactive teaching methods would improve learning. Internal tests and semester exams are moderately challenging.

Love the Research setup of our college. Has more than 15 COEs present. ABB research centre is the best among them
The bring in a lot of industry professionals every.One or the other event always keeps happening.

Dislikes

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

Placement Experience:

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.
